The United States has released its entry list for the upcoming World Athletics Relays Gaborone 2026, slated for Friday, 2 to Saturday, 3 May.While the squad still boasts depth, the absence of some of its biggest sprint stars has quickly become the main talking point.Fresh from impressive performances at the Tom Jones Memorial Invitational, both Noah Lyles and Sha’Carri Richardson are missing from the roster, just days after leading Team USA to dominant 4x100m victories. ##NAJAVA_MECA_9698383##Lyles anchored the men’s team to a world-leading 37.78 seconds, while Richardson powered the women to a 41.70 finish. Their omission from the Botswana-bound squad has raised eyebrows, coming at a time when both appeared to be in peak form.In the men’s 4x100m, the USA will rely on Pjai Austin, Ronnie Baker, Brandon Carnes, Kyree King, and Courtney Lindsey.

Bayern on a verge of a record treble

For years, it has been clear who the absolute “Kaiser” of German football is: Bayern Munich, a club of incredible power and a true football institution. Tonight, the team coached by Vincent Kompany—who secured another Bundesliga title last weekend—faces a tough away test in the German Cup semifinal against Bayer Leverkusen. The players from the Allianz Arena have a huge opportunity this season to win the treble—the league title is already secured, they are playing in the domestic cup semifinal tonight, and a two-legged clash with Paris Saint-Germain awaits them in the Champions League semifinal. Adding to that, Bayern’s women’s team also has a strong chance to achieve the same treble, which could lead to something never seen before: both the men’s and women’s teams of one club winning the treble in the same season.Another routine title — Bayern are champions of Germany!Of course, it’s one thing to say it and another to achieve it on the pitch. Leverkusen are a familiar rival—last year,..

PSG stumble, pressure mounts, as Luis Enrique faces a crucial response tonight

Just when it seemed that Paris Saint-Germain had one hand firmly on the Ligue 1 title, a cold shower arrived at the Parc des Princes: a 2-1 defeat to Olympique Lyon.

The worst Chelsea in 114 years

The fact that Chelsea have lost five successive league games without scoring for the first time since November 1912 sounds unreal, but it is true. The Blues fans, who were accustomed to wins, titles and trophies ever since the Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich brought the club are now facing a situation in which even wealthier American firm is owning the club, but the results are terrible. The whole management of Chelsea as a football club is terrible and that’s one of the reasons why many fans, together with their French parent club Strasbourg protested against the same ownership. But nothing happened and the team played another terrible match, losing 3-0 to Brighton, while in fact it should have been 5-0 at least.Absolute disgrace! Seagulls spread their wings and smash Chelsea with easeAnd now the young coach Liam Rosenior is under a lot of pressure. The chants of ‘F*** off, Rosenior’ erupted after Brighton’s second goal.

“Put him at Man City and he’s Ballon d’Or”, Pogba’s explosive take on Bruno

Paul Pogba has thrown a spotlight back on Bruno Fernandes and the debate around his true level by suggesting the Manchester United captain would be a Ballon d’Or contender in a different environment.Speaking candidly about his former club, Paul Pogba didn’t question Fernandes’ quality – quite the opposite. He argued that the Portuguese playmaker is already operating at an elite level, but lacks the platform to be fully recognised among football’s very best.”Put him in another top team, he’s top three for the Ballon d’Or,” Pogba said. “You put him in Manchester City, he’s right there.”United’s brain Bruno: Superb 16 assists, Beckham dethroned, and attempt on EPL recordIt’s a bold claim, but one backed by numbers. Fernandes has been at the heart of United’s attacking output once again, registering 18 Premier League assists this season, just two shy of the all-time record held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne. Add to that eight goals and relentless work rate, and it’s easy to see why ..
